“Trump is tapping into an ugly part of our society and freeing its ugliness. It’s been a challenge to try to figure out how to continue the inclusion; how to show up every day and make sure that people who identify with all the marginalized identities I carry, feel represented.”

Ilhan Omar: ‘The Hijab Means Power, Liberation’

Omar was dragged on Twitter for making that laughable statement, since most people know that Muslim women are forced to wear the hijab so they won’t get raped.

One person tweeted: “It’s been a symbol of humiliation and belittling of women, hindering them of taking social roles and degrading them to sexual objects and breeding machines. It wasn’t Hijab which made u powerful, it was education and living in a modern country.”

You can advertise ur Hijab as u want,but in reality, it’s been a symbol of humiliation&belittling of women, hindering them of taking social roles &degrading them 2 sexual objects&breeding machines. It wasn’t Hijab which made u powerful,it was education&living in a modern country.

Another chimed in: “To my mom who has lived under Sharia Law for the past 40 years, Hijab means subjugation of women.”

To my mom who has lived under #ShariaLaw for the past 40 years, #Hijab means subjugation of women; it means that women need to conform to a strict dress code at all times just because some men may desire them at some point if their hair/face is visible.

Another remarked: “The Hijab is a fascist flag. It dubs all those who don’t wear it as “immodest” and “loose women” in the Islamic narrative.”

The Hijab is a fascist flag. It dubs all those who don’t wear it as “immodest” and “loose women” in the Islamic narrative, imposing a totalitarian modesty culture in all of womankind.https://t.co/hH5QHS6qgQ

Ilhan Omar always plays the Muslim Card whenever she’s criticized for her bigoted, hateful rhetoric. Even other Muslims have taken note of this.

Former Muslim Gets Death Threats for Exposing Truth About Islam

Human rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali — a former Muslim who was subjected to female genital mutilation as a child — noted: “The hijab as a symbol justifies the rape of women who refuse to wear it. It is time to discard it like the chastity belt.”

Worse, the hijab as a symbol justifies the rape of women who refuse to wear it. It is time to discard it like the chastity belt.
